in fact HYPERION have tried to ask for it there's two years ago. Sierra said "no"
It's the second time we will try to ask for it !
Halflife 1 is old but not dead with all multiplayer mod on it i think about counter strike for exemple but there about 30 mod played like it currently on the web based on halflife.
All mod just add gfx,models,sound and few code that could be ported easely too !
Halflife FPS is the most played multiplayer game nowadays and for 1 or 2 years more i thinks.
Amiga should taste what multiplaying online is !
